The Ulu Camii or Great Mosque has, to my great delight, been restored, and the job was done very well. The building – or rather the complex of mosque, Koran school, mausoleum and a ders-hane (where reading of the Koran was taught) - was founded in 1507 by Halil, a prince of the Ramazan Oğlu family. I was shown around the mosque and Medrese by the keeper, who not only opened some extra doors and windows, but also led me up the minaret. The style is in a Syrian tradition, but is mingled with Selçuk elements.

The purpose of this picture (I am still to short, with my 1.95 meters) is to show how the one entrance side of the mosque is flanked by a minaret, the other it topped by a dome that is decorated with stalactites. The latter is not found but in the East. This is an addition by Moestafa Ramazan Oğlu from 1541.
